Stations Of The Cross Quotes

“I wondered how it could be that people could love God and hate one another.”
― Julie Orringer, How to Breathe Underwater

“I remember that one Holy Week, the magazine I got every Thursday, Anteojito, came with a free poster depicting the Stations of the Cross. I burned the poster and flushed the ashes down the toilet to dispose of the evidence. The idea that I was supposed to pin this graphic depiction of torture and death on my wall seemed to me as obscene as if someone had suggested decorating my room with pictures of the inner workings of Auschwitz.”
― Marcelo Figueras, Kamchatka

“Day of the Dogwood by Stewart Stafford

If I opened my veins,
With the Saviour’s nails,
Will your bloodlust go?
Where compassion failed?

Do I sweat out blood now?
Or is it your crown of thorns?
Miracles to silvered treachery,
Pure as first Christmas morn.

Scattered flock, shepherd leaves,
Can you sheep know what you do?
Such immaculate deception, but,
Know this sacred heart was true.
